Does anyone know if you can get iron tablets in a big bottle? dh and i are taking the swiss ones and they only come in a bottle of 30s which only does us a fortnight and works out to be a lot of money every month...
So can you get a big bottle of iron out there?

thanks

I take iron and I get mine from behind the counter. Way TMI warning, but it turns my poo black. The dr said this is the way you know you are getting plenty of iron. Mine are in a bottle with a green lid.

Have you had a blood test to see if you actually need iron? The ferrograd ones work out cheaper than the Swisse ones.

Yes we both have.

Just did a google of them and they have bad reviews

Mine are ferro-gradumet and they seem to be doing the trick.

Found this about the swisse ones:
Not for the treatment of iron deficiency conditions. If symptoms persist consult your health care professional. Vitamins can only be of assistance if the dietary vitamin intake is inadequate. No added gluten, lactose, egg, yeast, salt, preservatives, aritificial colours and flavours.

Indication of Ferro-Gradumet:
Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia. May be useful for patients who are unable to tolerate some other iron medications.

Swisse iron tablets taste horrible! I am using the blackmores iron tablets now - much more mild flavour and cheaper. I got a bottle of 80.
